Spotted on Club Lupo this week
To program the remote functions on a new key, get in your car with the engine off and the driver side window rolled down.
- Insert the new key into the ignition
- Insert your valet key in the driver side door lock (outside the car)
- Turn the vallet key towards lock and hold it there
- While it is held towards lock, press the unlock button on your new remote for 2 seconds.
- Let go
- Press it again for 2 seconds
- Let go and you should hear an alarm honk (or something like that)
You won't be able to start a car with the key, without visiting the dealer (or someone with VAGCom) as far as I know, but the process above should programme the key to work the alarm/central locking.
